2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 1-0)

Shameful loss by the T-Wolves with Curry out tbh. They'll still win this series now that he's expected to miss time (sorry Warriors fans), but that's still an inexcusable performance. 31 points in the first half is laughable for a Playoff team in 2025.

Once again. Pretty much cruised.

Mind you the NBA and its rigid playoff schedule is partly to blame, the Dubs only had one day of rest between game 7 of the Rockets series and tonight.

You do realize the Warriors had the best schedule out of any playoff team right, go check their schedule game 1 and 2. lol

Positive: Minnesota can’t play worse.
Negative: They can absolutely continue playing at this level.

Maybe everyone is underestimating that Houston team. They were tough.

Everyone treats the Lakers like the Finals and go all out, then wet the bed against other teams. Rinse and repeat.

And the fans and contenders and general product suffers cause so many good players are hurt in the playoffs cause of injuries.

Injuries ruined the Knicks title hopes last season ans it looks like it may screw The Cavs over this season.

This is a damn fine win by The Dubs losing Steph after 1 quarter and hardly any rest after a 7 game series. Much respect to them

What's the solution here? Play every four days? I mean, Garland has been out with a toe injury for almost two weeks. How do you prevent injuries or guys being unable to take a steroid shot and go?

Cam Thomas came back next game. It depends a lot. He will most likely miss the next game especially with warriors winning game 1. After that who knows

Cam isn't 37.

Doesn’t matter , he comeback and re injured and was gone long time , same with harden and many more , Steph is gone for a long time

They already stretch the first round an interminable amount compared to how it used to be. How much longer do they need to space out games?

Cam Thomas is 23 though

Yes, age is a factor too

You see some older players on the list coming back after a few days

Houston's defense was on another level than the Wolves just played.
